On accuracy assessment of celestial reference frame VLBI realizations
In this paper, we propose to use the scatter of celestial pole offset (CPO) series obtained from VLBI observations as a measure of the accuracy of the celestial reference frame (CRF) realizations. Several scatter indices (SIs) including those proposed for the first time are investigated. The first SI is based on analysis of residuals of CPO series w.r.t. Free Core Nutation (FCN) model. The seco...
متن کاملConnecting VLBI and Gaia Celestial Reference Frames
The current state of the link problem between radio and optical celestial reference frames is considered. The main objectives of the investigations in this direction during the next few years are the preparation of a comparison and the mutual orientation and rotation between the opticalGaia Celestial Reference Frame (GCRF) and the 3rd generation radio International Celestial Reference Frame (IC...
متن کاملNon-linear VLBI station motions and their impact on the celestial reference frame and Earth orientation parameters.
The increasing accuracy and growing time span of Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) observations allow the determination of seasonal signals in station positions which still remain unmodelled in conventional analysis approaches. In this study we focus on the impact of the neglected seasonal signals in the station displacement on the celestial reference frame and Earth orientation paramete...
متن کاملDefinition of the Celestial Ephemeris Origin and of UT 1 in the International Celestial Reference Frame ?
The adoption of the International Celestial Reference System ICRS, and of the corresponding Frame, ICRF, by the 23rd General Assembly of the International Astronomical Union, calls for a redefinition of the departure point on the true equator. Several possibilities have been suggested. This paper considers the use of the non-rotating origin (Guinot 1979). The " Celestial Ephemeris Origin " (CEO...
متن کاملSpace - VLBI phase - reference mapping and astrometry
We present 5 GHz space-VLBI observations of the quasar pair B 1342+662 / B 1342+663 that demonstrate the feasibility of phase-reference techniques using an antenna in space. The space-based data were taken by the satellite HALCA, of the space-VLBI mission VSOP. From residual (referenced) phases we derive an upper bound of 10 meters to the uncertainty of the spacecraft orbit reconstruction. An a...
